Famous quotes containing the words geographical and/or situation:

    Men’s private self-worlds are rather like our geographical world’s seasons, storm, and sun, deserts, oases, mountains and abysses, the endless-seeming plateaus, darkness and light, and always the sowing and the reaping.
    Faith Baldwin (1893–1978)

    When you can use dirty words in every situation with everyone, that’s a real big liberation.
    Lina Wertmuller (b. 1928)
